Have you notice a foul sewage smell on the outside, or even inside, orf your house? Are there areas in your yard that seem wet (on a dry day) with standing black or grey water? If you answered yes to either of these questions you definitely need to get your septic tank pumped out.

Generally speaking, for a 1500 gallon septic tank witha properly working leach field, it is recommended to have the system pupmed out every 3-5 years. This will vary based on:

· The size of your household· Do you use a garbage disposal?· Does your laundry water go through your system?· Is there adequate bacteria in your system to aid in the digestion of organic solids?· Do you want your system to last and work effectively as long as possible?

Signs of system distress include:

Toilets and sinks draining slowlyGurgling sounds in your plumbingSystem backupsBlack or gray water coming from your home’s outlet tile discharging into a creek or ditchFoul sewage odors noticed in the house or outside *BE SAFE: If odor is present you should immediately take appropriate safety measures to eliminate propane or gas leaks as the cause.
